Mater Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I wonder if the structure is going to have the same wiggle that Green Lantern has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see a clone of this at SFStL in the near future. Its not really what the Park needs, but is a very likely choice in a new steel Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I don't think its ugly at all. And I like the layout/look a lot better then the Intamin ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genx24 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see a clone of this at SFStL in the near future. Its not really what the Park needs, but is a very likely choice in a new steel Coaster. It wouldn't shock me if GAdv got one soon, either. Especially since there was a rumour going around that GAdv was supposed to get one this year until Zumanjaro went over budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think the curves look beautiful and terrifying with the lack of supports in some areas. Definitely a new look for a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 That looks awesome! Can't wait to hear how it rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Weird seeing a steel coaster without a spine lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anac0nda Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm also interested to see the spinning in action! It's been made clear that it differs from ZacSpins so I'm waiting for videos and reviews about this. I myself like ZacSpins due to their unexpected balance-possibilities and I don't even think they're that rough. But I can easily believe that there are many who disagree with me on that. It'll be exciting to see what kind of reviews this gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I don't even think they're that rough. Not necessarily rough, but I personally don't like being pushed against the harness when the car faces the ground, and having the pivot behind your back make the forces greater (on fairground rides, I've yet to ride a Zac Spin).

BrandonR Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Green Lantern virtually neutered me so I'm looking forward to trying this out and giving these kinds of rides a second chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm sure based on Robb, Elissa, and Kid Tums ride of the prototype that this Batman the Ride will be way better than Green Lantern at SFMM. If that be the case I see SFSTL getting one of these for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. G Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Green Lantern virtually neutered me so I'm looking forward to trying this out and giving these kinds of rides a second chance. I felt the same way after riding Green Lantern! Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I see this being cloned all around the chain, similarly to the original Batman: The Ride. It's relatively cheap (I'd assume), is very compact, and looks like a family friendly ride. Also, they are extremely unique from the look of them.

cyberdyne-systems Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey guys! I just got back from SFFT today and thought I would share some BTR update pics with y'all. So, as previously noted, the track circuit is complete. However, there is still a lot of work to be done! The area around the ride is just dirt right now, and the queue is in its beginning stages of construction. The ride looks beautiful though! These pictures really can't portray how big the structure is in person. Can't wait until it is done! A quick non-Batman side note: Roadrunner Express is still closed and no work seems to have been done on it. I asked one of the park employees what was going on with it, and he told me that the they "can't fix it because they need parts from the manufacturer but they went out of business." Now, he was probably talking about Arrow Dynamics, the manufacturer of Roadrunner Express which became defunct in 2002. Please don't quote what he said as fact, though, for it is just a rumor. For all I know, he could've just been making that stuff up. Anyways, enjoy the pictures! A pic of the completed track from Rockville. I like how the structure looms in the distance behind the ride entrance! Artsy lift hill pic lol The raven drop comes close to the train track! The chain lift mechanisms are on site and ready to be placed (I think that's what these are)! The chain itself is also on site, but I couldn't get a good picture of it Parts galore! This is a chassis for one of the ride's vehicles. I'm guessing it's on site so that they can begin testing soon A bit of a creepy pic...these are roller coaster test dummies in storage next to SKC. I think they're getting them prepared for Batman testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looks pretty good to me! I'm excited to see how it rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
